Ratchada Thai Restaurant - Blackheath

Ratchada has been delivering the goods since opening in 2003, and is now established as a reliable Blackheath favourite for authentic Thai food. The interior has been done out in open-plan contemporary style, with lots of eye-catching photographs and paintings (for sale) brightening up the wall space.

The 50-dish menu has a decent choice of starters, salads, stir-fries and curries dominated by classics such as tom yum soup, tord mun (fishcakes), som tum salad (green papaya with peanuts and lime juice) and ped makham (roast duck in tamarind sauce). Also look for pla saba yang (grilled blue mackerel with teriyaki sauce in a banana leaf) and gai yan (marinated poussin with sweet chilli sauce and sticky rice).
